Not feeling like 1 hour of my Sunday is worth listening to this, do anyone have the non-clickbait answers to the two "previews" mentioned in the description?

> Greg explains how the original Napa offsite produced the three-step technical plan OpenAI has followed for a decade and the real reason OpenAI had to abandon its pure nonprofit structure

What was the technical plan and what was the "real reason" they couldn't achieve their original goals?

> What was the technical plan

"1. Solve reinforcement learning

2. Solve unsupervised learning

3. Gradually learn more complicated 'things'"

That three point list is verbatim the extent of the technical plan mentioned.

> what was the "real reason" they couldn't achieve their original goals?

Paraphrasing, "we needed more money for compute and didn't think we could get enough as a non-profit". Brockman's diary might be a stronger indicator of the real real reason, though.

>> What was the technical plan and what was the "real reason" they couldn't achieve their original goals?

Because they were still downloading from Anna's Archive and the lawyers were in panic?

1. Solve reinforcement learning.

2. solve unsupervised learning.

3. gradually tackle more complicated things.

> what was the "real reason" they couldn't achieve their original goals?

I assume this is referring to why they gave up being a non-profit. The answer is that they needed more money.
